Elk are becoming more and more educated.
Perhaps it was simply an act to escape?

Had a blacktail doing similar antics in my backyard related to fermented grapes. Knowing that was what was going on it was pretty hilarious (little button buck junping around, stumbling, falling down, kicking like a bucking bronc). If I did not know that was what was going on it would have been very concerning and sad.

That’s why You shouldn’t eat mushrooms.
There are a lot of amanita muscaria out right now. They eat them and she might be stoned and tripping.

Obvious case of TDS. Spread from humans to elk in the past few years. Very contagious.

Sad to watch, especially when she just fell down. Sad situation.

Bummer for her, for sure.
I understand the desire to put her down, but without good reason to believe the condition was terminal, I would definitely not have pulled the trigger. If I was carrying an appropriate tag, though, 100% she'd be the one I took, and I would
definitely
have the tissue tested for various diseases.
